Xiao Chen instantly felt confused. If he did not cultivate it, why would this secret manual be hidden in the Qing Emperor's Drawing the Saber painting?
Xiao Chen thought about the Qing Emperor's life. He became a Martial Emperor at the age of one hundred and was unrivaled for an entire era. Even the older-generation experts were not a match for him.
He passed down some of the deeds of the Qing Emperor. If the other Sovereign Noble Clans and ancient races were not convinced, he would uproot them.
Precisely because of this, the Qing Emperor earned the title of absolute overlord. Rather than saying he was tyrannical, it would be more accurate to describe him as ferocious.
Killing people was evil. Exterminating an entire clan was the greatest evil in the world.
After piecing everything together, Xiao Chen felt somewhat disappointed. It looked like the Qing Emperor really did cultivate this Good and Evil Beneficence Art. "Boom!
Boom! "
Suddenly, a few sharp winds appeared on the surface of the sea. The winds were like knives, splitting the seawater in half. Then, a few men and women appeared on the beach.
"Someone is here."
Xiao Chen turned his head to look. These people did not look like they were from the Kunlun Realm's five Domains. They were dressed like cultivators from overseas. Their auras were deep, and most of them were Superior Grade Martial Sages. They exuded an air of arrogance.
"Xiao Chen!"
One of the men exclaimed in shock when he recognized Xiao Chen.
"Haha! Unexpectedly, you are still here after killing the top true inheritor of the Xuanshui Sect." This person was no more than thirty years old and carried a spear on his back. He looked at Xiao Chen and smiled. "For the sake of your head, the Xuanshui Sect's Sect Master offered a peak King Grade Secret Treasure and a Peak Spirit Vein. Unexpectedly, you are just a Medial Grade Martial Sage."
A girl at the side smiled and said, "Senior Brother, you received an invitation from Di Wuque to discuss the Heroes' Convention. If you kill this brat, not only will you obtain the reward from the Xuanshui Sect's Sect Master, but you will also have more confidence when speaking to Di Wuque."
Xiao Chen felt mildly astonished. Di Wuque's Heroes' Convention actually spread to the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
Xiao Chen did not know which sect these five people were from, but their tone was strangely arrogant. It was as though Xiao Chen was already dead.
Xiao Chen took a careful look. The cultivation of the man leading the group was decent. This person seemed to cultivate some kind of Divine Cultivation Art. His acupoints all closed, absorbing the Astral Energy of the universe.
Indistinct starlight spurted out from his body, adding a hint of charm.
The four people next to him also practiced star power, but the starlight they emitted was far inferior to his.
Their sect should be a sect that specialized in studying the Heavenly Cycle Stars.
Xiao Chen was not unfamiliar with Astral Energy. Long Fei's Nine Heavenly Astral Art was one such Cultivation Technique. However, Long Fei also cultivated the White Bone Art. In terms of profoundness, it was not comparable to these people.
"Which sect are you from in the Heavenly Starry Ocean?"
"Xiao" Tian "was the Heaven. of" Sect "of of of the Chen of the" Sect ". Yun, Ye of the Chen of a of of of of," Tian "of Dao of Chen of Sect of Sect of Chen of the Demon. "Don't make a move. Let me test him out. Let's see how capable a fellow who dares to be so unbridled before Emperor Wu is."
Ye Qing smiled proudly. Then, he swung the spear on his back, and a banner fluttered in the wind.
"Don't make a move. Let me test him out. Let's see how capable this fellow, who dares to be so unbridled before Emperor Wu, is."
Ye Qing smiled proudly. Then, he swung the spear on his back, and a banner fluttered in the wind.
"My Big Dipper Banner still lacks three stars to refine. I can use your death to exchange for resources to refine it. Die!"
Ye Qing waved the banner, and starlight filled the sky. Four stars — Dubhe, Merak, Mystery, and Celestial — floated out of the banner. They hung high in the air and formed a Dou Kui. Then, three stars formed the handle, and it was a complete constellation.
Bathed in the starlight, Ye Qing's acupoints opened up, shining with the starlight. He appeared to be in high spirits. As he walked, he looked like a celestial lord.
"Kill!"
Ye Qing shook the banner above the starlight, and the starlight gathered together. The red banner unfurled, covering the sky and covering the sun, trying to wrap around Xiao Chen.
This simple move was filled with might. It swooped down amidst the starlight.
"Senior Brother Ye actually already condensed four stars of the Big Dipper, forming half a constellation. When did this happen?"
"Haha! Senior Brother just condensed it half a month ago. Among the younger generation of our Astral Palace, aside from First Senior Brother who completed the Astral Banner, only Senior Brother Ye can condense half a constellation."
The gentle girl's eyes flickered with starlight as she spoke proudly.
"Senior Brother Ye has the support of the Ye Clan. He is indeed rich and overbearing. Us junior-generation disciples have to work for several years just to condense one star."
"Half a constellation can already form a small cycle. It is completely different from an Astral Banner with one or two stars. In just ten moves, Senior Brother Ye will definitely be able to take down this Xiao Chen."
"Of course. I heard that this Xiao Chen once humiliated Di Wuque. If Senior Brother takes his head, he will definitely gain a lot of benefits from Di Wuque."
The group of Big Dipper Palace disciples watching the battle exclaimed excitedly as they looked at the incomparably insignificant Xiao Chen under the starlight.
When the banner unfurled, it indeed looked very mighty. When Xiao Chen looked up, all he saw were red banners. He did not know what these banners were made of.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he activated the vague form of his saber soul. Using his finger as a saber, he gently sliced the banner flying at him.
"Creak!"
Even with fifty percent of Xiao Chen's strength, he only managed to leave a mark on the banner; it did not break. Xiao Chen could not help but feel surprised.
However, this startled Ye Qing. This Big Dipper Banner was the life Secret Treasure of the Big Dipper Palace disciples. It was connected to their minds. When Xiao Chen sliced it, it was like a knife sliced through his mind; it was incredibly painful.
Ye Qing quickly retreated. When he lifted the banner, he felt even more heartache. The banner, which was made of more than a hundred materials, actually nearly broke from a casual slash.
When Ye Qing looked up at Xiao Chen, he could not help but feel astonished. What kind of monster is this fellow?
Ye Qing did not dare to unfurl the banner again. He shook his right hand, and the banner curled up. Using the Astral Banner as a spear, he charged at Xiao Chen.
This was the first time Xiao Chen met a cultivator who cultivated Astral Energy. He dealt with it unhurriedly, wanting to see how capable he was.
After fighting for a while, Xiao Chen felt slightly disappointed. Even with fifty percent of Xiao Chen's strength, he could deal with it easily. He did not feel any pressure at all. He had a feeling that this Big Dipper Palace was not a big sect in the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
In reality, Xiao Chen guessed right. The Big Dipper Palace was just a branch of the Zodiac Hall. In the Zodiac Hall, there were also the Purple Star Palace, the Nine Bright Star Palace, the Seven Fiend Star Palace, the Sun Palace, the Moon Palace, and the other twenty-four palaces.
The Big Dipper Palace was the lowest-ranked palace. Only when all seven stars were gathered would it be somewhat powerful. However, half a star was insufficient before Xiao Chen.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to give up, Ye Qing saw that he could not take down the Big Dipper Palace. He roared ferociously and pointed with his banner. The Merak Star fell towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and a bright moon rose behind him. Flawless Bright Moon. He stretched out his hand, and the bright moon clashed with this Merak Star.
"Bang!"
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the Merak Star shattered into countless specks of starlight, falling into the Big Dipper Banner.
Ye Qing vomited a mouthful of blood, and the Big Dipper Banner danced wildly. The remaining Merak Star, Heavenly Fate Star, and Megrez Star continuously fell.
Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness surged, and his Magic Energy burned. The bright moon looked like fire, resplendent in the sky, shattering three stars.
The starlight scattered, and only the bright moon remained. The mysterious phenomenon materialized by the other party's Big Dipper Banner crumbled completely.
Electric light flashed under Xiao Chen's feet. He flew forward and snatched the other party's Big Dipper Banner. Then, he casually punched and knocked the other party back, vomiting blood. "Hu!
Hu! "
The banner unfurled, and Xiao Chen's strong Spiritual Sense instantly destroyed the other party's Spiritual Mark. This Big Dipper Banner immediately changed owners.
"My Big Dipper Banner!" Ye Qing said with a pained expression. For the sake of condensing this Big Dipper Banner, he had exhausted a lot of his clan's resources. Now that he lost it so easily, he had lost a lot of face.
"Not bad. I can barely use it." Xiao Chen commented. Then, he raised his head and looked at the others. "The few of you have Big Dipper Banners as well, right? Take them out, and I won't kill you."
Ye Qing's defeat and loss of the banner happened in just a few breaths. Those people still could not react to it.
"What's wrong? You don't understand me?"
Xiao Chen's expression turned cold as he circulated his Flawless saber Dao. The bright moon in the sky turned into a saber light as bright as snow, disappearing in a flash as if it had never appeared.
The others could not understand what was going on. They could not sense anything strange at all.
Only Ye Qing, who was at the side, trembled in fright. He pointed with a trembling finger. Only then did the others discover that a thin saber wound had appeared on their necks at some point in time, so thin that it was barely visible.
Their hearts immediately sank. They felt their palms and the backs of their hands break out in a cold sweat.
The others showed bitter expressions as they wiped away their Spiritual Marks. Then, they handed their Big Dipper Banners to Xiao Chen. Most of them only had one or two stars on them. They could not compare to Ye Qing's.
Xiao Chen smiled as he carefully put away the Big Dipper Banners. Then, he consoled them, "As you wander the world, there will always be some setbacks. The Kunlun Continent is very dangerous. Don't come here in the future. Don't participate in any Heroes' Convention, either. It is not for you children. "
"Don't get cocky. Our First Senior Brother is already a guest of the Deity Race. He has gathered all seven stars and formed a complete constellation. Killing you is like killing a dog," the gentle-looking female disciple said ruthlessly.
When Ye Qing heard this, she was startled. She pulled the girl over and said, "Big Brother Xiao Chen, don't mind her. My Junior Sister is just a little unruly and willful. She does not mean what she says. This is the method to refine the Big Dipper Banner. Big Brother Xiao, you do not have the method to refine the Big Dipper Banner.
Xiao Chen did not stand on ceremony and accepted the secret manual that the other party handed over. Then, he glanced at the girl and turned to leave.
Only when Xiao Chen was completely gone did Ye Qing release her bated breath. Then, she pulled a long face and said to the girl, "Junior Sister Liu, don't speak nonsense in the future. It is fine if you get yourself killed, but you will implicate us."
That girl was clearly unconvinced. She said, "Senior Brother, you must have been beaten silly. Someone snatched away your Big Dipper Banner, and you even obediently handed over the method to refine the Big Dipper Banner. We should quickly report this to First Senior Brother and get him to help us snatch back the Big Dipper Banner."
Ye Qing smiled coldly and said, "I'm not as stupid as you. Why don't you take a look at your own strength first? To think that you dare to speak so ruthlessly. This person did not even use half his strength against me. Not to mention First Senior Brother, even the seniors of our Big Dipper Palace might not be a match for him.
"The only ones who can stop him are probably those freakish disciples of the Sun Palace, the Moon Palace, and the Purple Star Palace."
